OK, I've had another go! Removed all the ProxHTTPSProxy and Microsoft Update certificates, removed the ProxHTTPSProxy "Certs" folder, and set the clock back to 2017. I now have just one ProxHTTPSProxy certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store valid from 26/01/17 to 26/01/27. The new certificates for Microsoft Update in the ProxHTTPSProxy "Certs" folder (www.update.microsoft.com.crt and fe2.update.microsoft.com.crt) are both dated 26/01/22 to 26/01/32 though. Still getting the same error that the system clock is wrong.

That's right about the certificates shown, but I did delete the system root ProxHTTPSProxy certificate with the program closed before I moved my system clock back and then ran the program again. Why I then ended up with two certificates I'm not sure, but I can try it again and watch more closely this time!

The certificate for *.update.microsoft.com is in the ProxHTTPSProxy Certs folder. I assume it was downloaded when I visited the site. Why there are two certificates for ProxHTTPSProxy is strange, but I've seen that happen before. I have tried deleting the older one of them, but it makes no difference to anything. I can only guess that the 2025 one is the original one supplied with the program that installs when the program is first run, but it then updated to the second one, which is set to expire in 2030 as I had the clock set to 2020, and it just added to the other one rather than replacing it. I'm not going to be reinstalling Internet Explorer to try and fix this, unless there is an absolute guarantee of success, which there isn't of course!

http://update.microsoft.com wasn't in my list, I've added it now but no difference. I really don't think it matters whether we do this with HTTPSProxy or ProxHTTPSProxyMII. They are extremely similar programs which do exactly the same thing, I can't believe that something would work with one of them and not with the other. There is no actual log file, I just copied and pasted from the console. I'm a bit apprehensive about setting my system clock to ten years in the past, if that's what you're suggesting. I'm worried it will upset other things.

Well I've restored ProxHTTPSProxy now, but I guess it's the same scenario. I don't think that it matters which of the two programs you use, they are extremely similar and the same problem exists in both of them for me. Entries in red in the console normally indicate errors I would have thought, both on HTTPSProxy and ProxHTTPSProxy. I've now found that if I use the older certificate on ProxHTTPSProxy (the one that expires in 2025), it doesn't work at all. I have to install the newer one that expires in 2031 to get it to work again. Yes, I did start it with a new empty "Certs" folder!

@AstroSkipper OK, I now have HTTPSProxy working, and I am using your confg.ini file. It does seem to be doing everything that ProxHTTPSProxy was doing. Unfortunately, there's no difference on Microsoft Update. I'm still getting "[0x80072F8F] Your computer's date and time appear to be out of sync with an update certificate." This is the output from HTTPSProxy. I don't know if it provides any clues.

It wasn't the nicest comment to make to a fellow forum member, he can consider himself warned, unofficially at the moment. Whatever you may think of others personally, keep it to yourself please everyone, and stay on-topic. If you feel a real need to dispute with someone, take it to a PM, we don't tolerate public slanging matches on threads here.

As far as I'm concerned, "dude" is a slang term, the American equivalent to the British term "mate". Usually fine in informal banter, but not always appropriate in every context, and open to the user being accused of overfamiliarity, and being patronising, during a dispute. This is getting personal, and off-topic of course. I will be wielding my axe if it goes on any longer.
